These pages represent two chapters of my recently updated book, The REAL Purpose-Driven Life plus an additional chapter on good versus evil. I removed the afore-mentioned chapters because I wanted to focus, in that book, on the central moral concept known as purpose. These chapters, although central to an understanding of the morality of Ayn Rand, stand on their own and provide several important insights on how to think about morality and apply it to the life of the individual.

The purpose of this book is to establish the theory that the apostle Peter is an alias for the Jewish historian Josephus. To support this view, we must connect both names to the Flavians, and in particular, the Roman general Titus. What does it mean that Josephus functioned among the Christians as a man named Peter? Why would he want to be called Peter? Who were his compatriots, his helpers, the men and women who helped him keep up the façade? To answer this, we must examine what facts of reality would have made it possible for him to function as Josephus as a writer of history and Peter ...

Understanding the Book of Revelation is the third and final book in the series about the conflict between Paul and Domitian over Paul’s version of Christianity which is found in the gospels. My goal is to elaborate on the story hidden between the lines of the Pastorals (Coded Messages in the Pastorals), the sealed letters of Revelation (The Seven Letters of Revelation – A Radical Interpretation) and this book (Understanding the Book of Revelation). My goal with this last commentary is to finish the study, and, of primary importance, to demystify the Book of Revelation. Toward this goal,...

This book is written for companies that want to explore the benefits of sport and entertainment sponsorship. This book is the culmination of years of study, experience and success. As a marketing and sales manager for many years, I have experienced the many permutations involved in sport sponsorship and advertising in general.

Domitian’s contribution to religion is virtually unknown. Yet, as this book illustrates, he is the father of some of Christianity’s most profound concepts. The goal of this book is to define the specific themes and concepts that make up Domitian’s religious precepts – in a sense, we are defining the specific Domitian overlay to the Christian materials developed for his brother Titus. In the author's previous book on this topic entitled Unkilling Jesus, he presented analyses to support the thesis that Jesus was a fictional composite of the Emperor Vespasian, and his sons Titus and ...

In 2025, three of the largest sporting events in the USA, the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, and the Indy 500 will be broadcast by the same national television network. With the addition of the Indy 500 on Fox Sports, the race teams competing in this event have received a major boost in their value proposition to prospective sponsors. The Fox Sports Network will likely provide a platform that will broaden the size of Indy Car fandom and increase the number of sport fans business deals, cross-promotions, and social media opportunities.. In addition, the development and growth of AI (Artificial...

This second volume adds the knowledge and experience that my company has gained since writing the first volume known as “Finding Sponsors.” After having made thousands of phone calls, engaged in many presentations and negotiations and helped teams and organizations obtain funding, we feel we are uniquely positioned to write this book. Since the first volume, we have also worked to develop funding opportunities in the entertainment industry for agents, marketing companies and concert/party promoters. Our experiences in developing sponsorship proposals have been invaluable to our efforts ...

When a group of people decides that their views cannot be wrong, they give themselves license to engage in whatever activities they think are justified. Yet, the view that they cannot be wrong is the height of bigotry. Such people think it is immoral to disagree with them. In fact, for them, only immoral people would stand against them. This state of affairs exists today and there are two groups who think they can’t be wrong. These are the communists and the Christians. Both groups, and their associated fringe groups, fight each other for the right to control the lives of men without ...

This short book is based upon Mr. Villegas' book "Finding Sponsors for Sport and Entertainment". It is also based upon a course that he taught for an organization managing Indiana Parks and Recreation facilities. It is, in a sense, a condensation of information from the book geared toward organizations that would like to earn revenues on their facilities through corporate sponsorship.

Johnny is a Spanish guitar player with a mysterious past. At a party, he meets the beautiful songstress Aphrodite who is enthralled with his flamenco guitar skills. Later, she learns they have a connection, a particular song they both appear to know. Aphrodite discovers the connection, and through dreams, the two fall in love. The question is whether they will ever be together.

The enemies of man include both left and right. In order to decide what our futures should be, we must understand what left and right have in common, and what is keeping us from advancing proper principles. We should understand what is wrong with both left and right.

Sometimes a book just comes together. As I am writing the various sections, I do not always realize how they are supposed to go together. With this book, I was particularly concerned about which chapter should be the first, the chapter that offers a highly positive perspective or the chapter that offers a negative position. In this book, I reverse the general view that many people have about both egoism and altruism. Where many people regard altruism as superior morally, I reverse the tables. In my view it is egoism that is morally superior, and I explain here what is good about egoism and ...

This book is the shorter version of my book Paul’s Agon. It seeks to provide a more succinct expression of the key points in that book which is over 500 pages. These chapters represent the issue of what the Apostle Paul actually did and how it has impacted during the two centuries since he invented Christianity and Jesus. Robert’s Razor is the name I have given to the mindset of rejection of anything that cannot possibly be intellectually. Robert’s Razor, similar in intent to Occam’s Razor, rejects any idea that reeks of the mystical and the non-sequitur. It also rejects any moral ...

For Eusebius, there was no reality without God since He was thought to be the Creator of the universe. And this view is thought to solve the questions that are left behind: What was Christ? What of those who thought that he was a mere man? What of those that thought he was the Roman General Titus?. Eusebius is, therefore, for the Christian, thought to start at the beginning. But is he? What if he was starting at the beginning of a hidden secret, not reality, not true history? What if there is a secret left buried in the past, long forgotten, and long ignored? This secret would be that of ...

Adam Reborn is an allegory for the stage. It uses the Biblical symbols of Adam and Eve to tell the story of man’s relationship with God. In this story, Adam and Eve are young and heroic people learning to deal with a Paradise and a God that are hostile to them. There is no chance of life and everything that is natural to them is cut off, given no chance for fruition. They sense this; they feel the vacuum in their souls, and they are uncertain as to how to deal with it. The man/woman relationship suffers as it must under such strains; independence is too essential to it. How they deal with...

It was love at first sight. I saw her one day while watching a television program about King Tut, the boy King of Egypt whose tomb had been discovered by Howard Carter years before. I was looking at the famous bust of a beautiful Egyptian Queen. Her elegant face, long neck and stunning eyes exemplified human perfection of the highest order. Who was she? What was her life? How did she live? Who did she love and what were her deepest thoughts? All of these questions represented mysteries to solve. Her beauty had inspired these questions; men could not help thinking that the mystery ...

This book will bring forward a theoretical foundation whose goal is to identify what I consider to be the true roots of religion. This discussion will set the foundation for two theories, one regarding pillar 43 enclosure D at Gobekli Tepe and the other theory regarding the purpose of the site. My work has been a very deep quest for knowledge that I consider to be fundamental to the development of the human mind, and the source of man’s religions.

I believe it is the focus on religion that represents one of the major problems of the First Amendment. If you focus only on protecting freedom of religion, you ignore the other areas of expression, especially the opposite of religion which is atheism. Shouldn’t there be a freedom to unbelief? By ignoring the wider concept of freedom of philosophy, you set the stage for a distorted perspective on freedom of speech. This ignores the freedom of people not to believe as well as the freedom of people to create entirely new fields that are influenced by science and the pursuit of new knowledge...

The goal of this booklet is to introduce young people to the economic system known as capitalism. It is my contention that capitalism is the best economic system in the world. The benefits of capitalism have been left out of the discussion in our universities, and I consider this a travesty. In fact, most college professors today know that if young people were to become aware of the benefits of capitalism, they would reject fascism, communism and socialism, each of which are coercive in nature. Scholars, college professors, and politicians today (properly called pragmatists) have engaged in...
